New Apple TV Does 1080p

Improved icon-based navigation

Amid the excitement over the New iPad (don’t call it the iPad 3), was the barely mentioned Apple TV. No this isn’t the iTV or Apple smart television that many people (maybe me included) thought was coming. It’s just an updated version of the earlier Apple TV, but it comes with some welcome updates.

The most important upgrade for home theater fans is the new support for 1080p video. You can get 1080p video from iTunes and other services and enjoy them in all their pixels on a 1080p display.
